Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp coarse sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
  2. Add the chilled and cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough begins to come together.
  4. Divide the dough into two equal parts, shape them into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and cornstarch.
  6. Add the mixed berries, sliced apples, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the sugar mixture. Toss gently to combine and coat the fruits evenly.
  7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  8. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Carefully transfer the rolled dough to the pie dish.
  9. Pour the fruit filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
  10. Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal the pie.
  11. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  12. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  13. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  14. If the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them with foil to prevent burning.
  15. Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. This helps the filling to set and makes slicing easier.

Your Gemini Pie is now ready to be enjoyed! The combination of mixed berries and apples creates a delightful harmony of flavors that will surely satisfy your taste buds. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat. Enjoy!
